Oh you gotta take him down. Renekton's reward is crazy.

It's something we have talked about a few times. We still want it to feel special when it happens, and it shouldn't be something that is top of mind when picking one of these champions.

We could make it happen more frequently, but the primary constraints are to make sure teams are on equal enough footing and late enough in the game so that the duel isn't a prominent power spike.

I personally think we could stand to see it a little more often without it having a drastic impact on the game. Though there are plenty of players who dislike this sort of mechanic, so we wouldn't want to go too far if we did make it happen more often.

Gonna need to extend that list soon.

The big challenge with pet champions are the number of things on screen + how targeting works.

A lot of things on screen can be a problem for older devices, especially in AllForOne where you could have multiple of the same champion.

More summons can also mean that the targeting system needs to account for them. They can block skill shots, change basic attack targets, and we need to think about how the tap targeting system takes them into account.

That isn't to say we can't/won't see these kinds of champions, don't worry, we will. None of those things are blockers, just challenges. I just wanted to talk about some of the challenges that we run into with summoning lots of pets.

Mana burn is something that League PC originally had, but it was removed early on in its life.

I wouldn't expect it to show up in either game, it has a few problems that don't really make it worth having.

1) Like others have pointed out it wouldn't work vs several champions, and while this is fine for some games, it isn't really a space we like things to sit in for Wild Rift.

2) Mana burn is very unfeelable until it feels horrible. Small bits of mana burn is easy to miss and not even know you are being mana burned or burning someone else. But when it does start to matter, if you are the one out of mana, it feels awful, and the only thing you can do is go back to base. While as the one doing the mana burn you might not even really notice.

Basically the feel good, feeling, of mana burning someone isn't nearly as strong as the feels bad, feeling, of being mana burned.

Generally a silence effect, or spell shield, counter, or something else ca...

Let's start with what is the problem you are trying to solve with any change. We could increase wards as the game progresses, but what is motivating us to do so? Any change also comes with trade offs, and too much vision has its own problems.

If we felt vision in the late game was a problem, and something that needed to be increased then this could be a good option. However it's generally better for vision to decrease over time so that players don't have perfect situational awareness. An example of this is that losing a tower decreases vision.

This makes sure that plays still happen, and players can set up ambushes or take objectives.

Big dog is big

Ya this seems like an oversight or a bug. I'll make sure it gets brought up.

Sorry, some champions are disabled in USB. Basically every champion needed rescripting and big fixes, so for its first release we had to disable select champions.

Sorry, not every champion is available in USB. Many champions need to be rescripted for the mode, so for its first release we wanted to ship it with as many champions as possible without keeping players waiting any longer than we had to.

I can promise you that is not true, and people play what they enjoy regardless of rank. That is perfectly fine and I'd argue better anyway. If power was the only thing that mattered we would see far more people playing Singed and Asol, yet they are some of the least popular champions and ones a freakin space dragon.

Tanks have been very strong for a very long time, I can't imagine this patch makes them weak.

I can't say that they will be "meta" because the meta is shaped by what people are playing, not what is strong. So player perception and how feelable something is has an outsized impact on if it becomes meta.

But I'd bet that if you are looking to win more games picking a tank isn't going to hurt.

Hey sorry for the late response, the last few days have been busy.

I guess the question is what do you think you are missing with the current camera system?

Wild Rift is intentionally focused on your champion, and their position. We did, somewhat recently, make a change to show your champion in the mini-cam if they would be off-screen (such as when you pan the camera). But that is more of a tool for when you are using things like Pantheon's ultimate, and it is not something we want to encourage players to use all the time.

I think the biggest problem I see here is that most people do not use a 3 finger claw grip when playing, and we don't want to encourage that to be the norm.

I believe the team did try versions of a free cam system early in Wild Rift's development (before my time) and it leads to a lot of complex situations.

Ya it's an odd situation because plants don't have a typical hitbox. I'll make a note to bring it up and we can see what pops up.

This brings back flashbacks to early playtests of me getting destroyed... In early tests we didn't have a MS in combat and she could zoom around dodging everything.

Sorry it isn't live yet, I should have said the next content patch, not balance patch.

There is not a way to disable this, however 3's second press does not affect the cool down of the ability itself. It is simply there to help with his combo.

Bit of a sneak peak, but in the next major content patch we are adding this combo tech to Alistair's 2>1 / W>Q so that it functions by pressing 2>2 /W>W, and Jayce's ranged form 1>3 / E>Q so that it functions by pressing 1>1 / Q>Q.

Champion-specific settings and toggles are not something we want to do, it ends up being a rabbit hole where before each game you need to adjust your settings or don't feel like you can play a champion until you have tweaked their own specific setup.

There are situations where players might prefer using an existing setting over another with a champion, but we are not happy when something must be used (Looking at you Riven, and Dash in Move Direction: Off).

I understand that shooting the projectile away from your opponent is a bit odd, but we felt it was worth it to avoid situations where tap casting the ability would basically be trolling yourself if the first cast went toward your target. It can still be aimed in situations where you do want to send the first cast forward, though that will likely be less common.

As for the bug you problem up, this isn't something I have seen, but if you have a clip (ideally showing your screen touch position if possible)...

Sorry I didn't get a chance to look into this today, but yes that sounds like a bug, I'll bring this up to our QA team and we can look into it. If you have a clip send it my way, and I'll include it.

Thanks for bringing this up.

There are risks with any change for sure, but we gotta take risks if we wanta make cool things. Adjustments can, and likely will, be made between now and the ship date (assuming we do ship it).

And thank you for your kind words, I'll pass it along to the rest of the team, it always puts a smile on our faces when we get to hear from players, and our work is appreciated.
